Abstract

Eine Brennkraftmaschine ist mit einem Abgasturbolader (2), der eine im Abgasleitungssystem angeordnete Abgasturbine (3) und einen von der Abgasturbine (3) angetriebenen in einer Frischluftzuführung (6) angeordneten Ladeluftverdichter (4) aufweist, und mit einer Abgasrückführleitung (11) versehen. Die Abgasrückführleitung (11) zweigt aus dem Abgasleitungssystem in Abgasströmungsrichtung hinter der Abgasturbine (3) ab und mündet in die Frischluftzuführung (6) in Strömungsrichtung nach dem Ladeluftverdichter (4) in eine Ladeluftleitung (7) der Frischluftzuführung (6) ein. In der Abgasrückführleitung (11) ist ein 3-Wege-Mischer (10) angeordnet, mit einem ersten Eingang (12) für die Abgasrückführleitung (11), mit einem zweiten Eingang (14), der mit der Frischluftzuführung (6) verbunden ist, und mit einem Ausgang (15) von dem aus eine Abgasaufladeleitung (16) zu der Ladeluftleitung (7) zurückführt. In der Abgasaufladeleitung (16) ist eine Einrichtung (17) vorgesehen, über welche eine Druckanhebung des zurückgeführten Abgases auf das ladeluftseitige Druckniveau hinter dem Ladeluftverdichter (4) erfolgt.
